Russia Cracks Down On Undesirable Groups

Russia Cracks Down On Undesirable Groups - huffingtonpost.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Putin, who has adopted an increasingly conservative stance since returning to the Kremlin for a third presidential term in 2012, said he would not allow the West to use civil rights groups to foment unrest in Russia. Russia has accused the West of engineering the overthrow of Ukraine's pro-Moscow president Viktor Yanukovich last year through its support for NGOs."

Here is an excerpt from How Many People Did Stalin Kill? (historyofrussia.org)

"Before the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the opening of state archives to researchers, estimates of the number of people killed under Stalin’s leadership varied dramatically, from 3 million at the lowest end, to around 60 million at the top end. Post-Soviet research has shown that the number of deaths is probably around 20 million – still a horrific number. The records are not particularly accurate in many ways, though, and although a rough consensus seems to be emerging that 20 million deaths is a reasonably accurate figure, the topic is still subject to much debate."
